KALAPANA, HAWAII — The relentless lava flow from Kilauea Volcano destroyed four Hawaii Island homes Thursday, bringing to 102 the number of dwellings lost during the seven-year eruption. The homes caught fire over a three-hour period as the molten rock advanced through Kalapana Gardens subdivision, said Civil Defense spokesman Bruce Butts. The lava was menacing another home 80 feet from the last to go up in flames. Kilauea has wiped out 26 Kalapana-area homes this month.
